3. Aloe Pegler
A compact, neat rosette expands in breadth with age. This is rare for aloes, which are more likely to stretch upwards. Leaves also curl as they grow.
4. Folded Aloe
This type of aloe looks like a tree with a small but impressive trunk. Leaves grow like a fan in several rows. In nature, folded scarlet grows up to 4 m, and in everyday life it can be quite large.
5. Opposite Aloe
Such an aloe resembles a palm tree with a short thick trunk and gray leaves growing opposite each other. Even in the wild, it is not too large, and in everyday life the length of the leaf plates does not exceed 10 cm.
6. Intimidating Aloe
In fact, there is nothing frightening about it, except for the reddish tint of the leaves and rather long white spines. This aloe with fleshy leaves is medicinal.

9. Aloe Vera
It is also called real or Barbados. This is the same medicinal plant that has been grown since ancient times specifically for its healing juice. But at home, aloe vera grows reluctantly.
10. Pretty Aloe

11. Aloe Marlota
Its large fleshy leaves are densely covered with brown spikes and form a large rosette. Gradually, the lower leaves dry up, and the bush stretches upwards, which makes it resemble a tree.
12. Aloe Jackson
This original decorative species is easily recognizable by its very thin and long leaves, arranged linearly, but chaotically. As they grow, the lower leaves die off and form a trunk.
13. Aloe Cosmo
This type of aloe is often confused with another popular succulent – haworthia. And not surprisingly, they really have a lot in common, only the cosmo is growing larger.
14. Spiral Aloe
Such a spectacular and interesting outlet still needs to be looked for even in the outlandish world of succulents. It clearly twists in a spiral, and in different directions. The clear geometric shape of the leaves only enhances the effect.
